It's apparent that Edea's hat is similar to the helmet worn by the man in da Vinci's sketch here. Do you suppose that it is the inspiration for Edea's? I think so. :D

yeah well square has a nack for taking things from greek mythology or other religous things in the world so this comes as to no surprise to me
This is pretty interesting.
does the hat mean anything in the Da Vinci Code?
hey that is pretty interesting...
Want to know what els is interesting, it was made in 1472 (our time) one century before edea's date in the picture (1572 FFVIII time, check Raine's tombstone). Edea's a renaissance woman, she is a master of magic, a politician, plus she along with Cid organized the whole Garden thing. Is there nothing she can't do? :D
have children?
Nomura stated that he wanted Edea to look positively witchy. Da Vinci's drawing there reminds me more of a helmet a conquistadore might wear xD
This isn't in the title, but you can also post other interesting findings here, I have another-

Did you catch this during the parade scene? I didn't at first, but as the picture shows, you have an hourglass figured woman here with...:p
I guess that it's in the spirit of the ancient Romans with their phallus' all over their cities.
There are many more. What have you got?
ooooooooooooooooooooo
:drool:
Picture of the da Vinci -drawing? It's pretty hard to say anything without having seen it :P
This quite interest me...square is indeed getting ideas/inspirations from greek/norse/roman mythology and even latin.....
I think square staffs thinks that myth's are true?
A writer once said this:
"History Became Legend...
...Legend Became Myth..."
this words are quite true the only thing that makes people thinks that legends and myth are not true is because of time...
From a writer: "Much that once was is lost... for none now lived who remember it"
yeah the only thing thats left is books....
(Sorry if it is off-topic)
That painting Da' Vinci made really looks like Edea's head protector gear.
That Da Vinci/Edea link is awsome.
Actually, you took that from the LotR movies. That was something Galadriel said during the startup.Quote:

the paint its ugly... :Oo: but theres some kind of similarity :eep:
In the renaissance era that's how people really draw/paint...that painting was made by Da' Vinci I'm quite sure its worth something...Quote:

also in their time people dont appreciate art...I mean they dont even know what art is...until some collectors/nobles realized that art has something that you cant explain then people started to accept art (some of them says that..."that painting is so beautiful" but the truth is that they really dont understand the very essence of it, they just say that because its worth a fortune...) and today paintings like that are really $$$ hehehe
To tell you the truth until today I still dont understand art :( I just get an inspiration when I draw one but still I feel that there is something missing in all of my works but WHAT IS IT? :confused: :confused: :confused: a painter once told me that art needs "life", it has to be life-like...but how can I do that? :confused: :(
Ugly? Hmmm...Looks pretty nice to me.Quote:

and i think edea is an italian or latin name and da Vinci was...or maybe they thought she'd look great with half a crows head on her
well remember when we fight her in Galbadia u can steal Royal Crown from her...connection....
Wow.
Very cool....
God I love Square sometimes....
Speaking of connections, Terra in FFVI wore a "slave crown" which robbed her of her conscious. Edea's hat-thing can be thought of as a nastalgic take on Terra's experince. They are similar, they have the gift of magic, and are being controlled for other's gain. It's common for Square to have themes (like orphans in III & VIII, or interrupted by fireworks in VII & VIII, the list goes on and on). In any case, it suits Edea well to wear it.Quote:

I don't see how that sketch is connected to Edea at all.
well there's that beak like thing in the front, then there's the swirly thing at the back of the beak, and then there's the wing-like feature at the back of the helmet.Quote:

Beak? I think that it's supost to be a visor, only Edea's is magical and can melt away instead of being lifted up. I always thought that Edea's back part there lookes like a betta:greenie:

Ah, now that I see it, it truly is interesting and has some serious resemblance.
I'm really a fan of Da Vinci, but.. that paint... its just.. lol <.< :mog:Quote:

This one looks even better! It's Kain from Final Fantasy IV.

Edea wasn't the first, and probably not the last.
